I've been on a mountain bike since 1985, and my wheels pretty much never leave the ground. I'd love to know how people do this stuff. I can't even wheelie. But I love riding, and that's all that counts. I've been slow and sick and still gotten on the podium of one of the most difficult races in California. But jumping, damn. I have a set of jumps like this in my area, but I end up riding the front wheel, and then saying I'll never try it again.

Bikes are great.
